Actually, that doesn't bother me - it's so nonsensical it's like when a small child tries to claim it was the cat that drew a picture in felt-tip pen on the new wallpaper. Bless their little cotton socks for trying.

From 1 to 10 I am 'facepalm'.

They're not just trying to jam a square peg in a round hole. No, they're shaving off the corners.

More amused then anything else... see how they're struggling to prove their point. We don't have to prove anything. Show me the god and we can talk about his love..... it's all bullshit.

As annoyed as when an atheist mix belief with science.

It’s every day Life it’s been done since the beginning of time. First. The person with the science is a wizard. Then it becomes common and adapted to the religion to fight the next wizard with science and so on and so on. Part of the reason I fight so hard against common religion. If they would just let go we could move forward leaps and bounds.
Look at the past 100 years. As science slowly won over religion technology moved faster during the 100 years than it did in the prior 15000 before it. And as we slowly push the radicals out of power the faster that will become. Slowly the world is waking up. They just need to let go of their fears and want to control everyone else around them.

Sometimes christians say something scientifically valid - and when they do, their words are as sensible as anyone else's.

The problem is that when christians try to use science to back their beliefs, when they almost invariably descend into nonsense and 'pseudo science' which is as invalid as the faith they are trying to support.

Science and belief simply do NOT and can NOT mix. It is an oxymoron.(IMHO)

It is usually cherry picking data to reinforce their beliefs, but leaving out all the other details which destroy their argument. Its the lack of willingness to challenge thier own beliefs which fuels this way of thinking. It can be very frustrating at times, but only when my family members talk this way. Anyone else, I don't respect them enough to care what they think

I pull door knockers over this. It is generally some guy from somewhere like the university of Bosman Montana (no offence) that they quote. So I just say you cant have it both ways. You either accept science or you dont.

Pretty annoyed. Science is about drawing conclusions based on evidence; belief is about propping up your beliefs DESPITE evidence.

That said, I am religious. I am an Atheopagan, which is a science-based, Earth-revering religious path. Not all religions are about belief in the supernatural.

I don't usually find it annoying. Usually just amusing or an opertunity for a debate. Sorry about the caps.

Creationism is the most laughable pseudoscience there is. Amazing that some people actually believe it. Good thing they don't teach it in our schools.

10 - I feel like religion wants to take the credit away from science. Religion wants to talk science
When it's convenient for religion. There's no place
In science when it comes to belief.

1, because it will come back to ruin them, giving people a spark of knowledge is dangerous for a leader of the mindless.

If they can embrace science through the lens of religion, that's great in my book. It's far better do accept science that way, instead of rejecting science outright because their little book didn't say specifically 'XYZ'.

I'd say pretty close to 25 -- maybe a bit more.

It gets worse every time, I think I'm about at a 14 at this point

It actually saddens me. I was a fundamentalist wacko, I know what it is like from both sides. the big difference is as an athiest there is zero cognative disodence. So I would give it a 10 for empathy and sadness.

Throwing a bone to the room: science could not have blossomed without the oppressive nature of religion.
